A good football question is this : Which professional football team's ground is closest to the River Mersey ?

 

And another one (now I am not exactly sure whether this has been verified) : At which English football ground do you go down steps to get onto the pitch ?

Hull isn't a city, it's a river.

 

Hull is a City and was granted a Royal Charter in the 13th Century. Although I'm Oldham born and Oldham through and through, my family are from Hull so I learned a lot of its history, but you'll be delighted to know that I won't bore you with it.

Surely the city is called Kingston upon Hull.

Correct. And what it says on all the signs as you enter state "Welcome to the City & County of Kingston-upon-Hull", or they did when I was last there a year or so ago. However, all the signs as you approach via the M62 /A63 or any of the other 4 major routes into the City show distances and directions to "Hull", as do the ones on the South side of the Humber Bridge. You'll never hear anyone living there calling it anything but Hull.
